Lousy lousy lousy! This coffee shop was way better when it was ‘7 Stones’ and under a different ownership. Took them 18 mins to get me an iced latte and when it was done, instead of handing it to me the kid insisted I walk around to the side bar to put a lid on it. Are they out of their mind?! Go to Starbucks instead of this place. Don’t know how this place manages to stay open.

Favorite coffee shop in town to sit, read, and people watch. Super kind and knowledgeable staff with an awesome menu. I've yet to be led astray by their suggestions. The locally made scones are unreal and their lattes never disappoint. Planning on stopping by later today!

This is a cute place that offers great food and warm service. I felt like the food was made with love!!! You can’t get any better than that!! We had a pumpkin bread, Cortados, quiche and a Tuna on bagel with pesto that was to die for!! Yum! Def recommend!

Quaint place for breakfast. The coffee was delicious and the place very cozy. The menu has wide selection of items. We got cafe au lait, raspberry Truffle iced coffee, power egg sandwich with ham and poppyseed bagel toasted with creme cheese. The egg sandwich was hot and flavorful, the bagel with creme cheese was good but not like NYC bagels or Montreal bagels.

Excellent cup of joe. Ordered Red Eye on Sunday bike excursion to Media. Highly recommend the coffee at least, best coffee house coffee I've had in recent memory, will put destination on my bike excursions list. Roomy and colorful interior, tasteful and charming, very European inside and out (cobblestone walkways).

Some of the best coffee and treats in the area! The new look is stunning and the plants make it so warm and inviting! ♥️Super cute staff doesn’t hurt! 😉

Lived here long enough to have liked the previous cafe and owners. I was excited to see what the new owners would do and it’s been disappointing. They are rude and getting more so. My friend was a big fan but told me recently she’ll never go back because of the bad service and rudeness. Also pastries aren’t always covered or in cabinets to protect them from flies and bugs and the doors are often wide open.

I'm rating this average based on the fact that this used to be an easy place to use the bathroom in Media and patronize a business in the process, now there's not a single place to go without sitting down somewhere.

So happy that these folks have taken over this spot. Great coffee and kitchen, bright and joyful art, plants everywhere. Everything you want in your neighborhood café.

A beautiful location and a summer hangout spot for me in the area. Friendly staff. I am a coffee lover and somehow they lack the authenticity of flavors. I have tried couple of them but they use bottled flavors (not my kind). Otherwise a nice place to visit for a quick bite/drink.
